People shouldn't grow up on the internet
« on: August 07, 2005, 07:24:39 PM »
The internet teaches kids bad things, they should grow up in real life. not the internet world.    They don't learn right.

I say we lobby congress (and omg bribe them) to ban all minors from touching the internet, even if it's for a logical reason such as school research.  Who is with me on this?

I'm using the power rangers to steal bandwidth from 10,000 people in florida.

First of all, if you think "real life" is any more real than the internet, a video game or even your own imagination, than I am sorry to inform you that you have been born into a completely fabricated society based on the perpetual oppression and exploitation of poor people by those who hold just as ephemeral, fabricated "power" as money, property, politics and religion.

f*** "real life", there is no such thing.

Secondly, I think that if people need licenses to own a dog, get married and drive a car, they should also have to pass tests to get licences to access the internet, drink alcohol and have babies.

I also think boys should be have their balls removed at birth until they can prove that they will be responsible with them. (This is in addition to the baby license)

First off I've been playing games online since I was about 7. And as anyone can see I'm perfectly fine. I see no problem anyways. So you could say I grew up online. I learned alot of life's lessons online even also. And I see no problems with growing up with the internet as long as there are some restrictions. (not to many though)

The only thing China does not allow specifically to minors and does allow to adults is any video game in which a player kills another player.

There's plenty of things I've learned from the net.
Your aspect on it is mere assumption. It's not like you've met every single kid who's on it.

You all should know that it's better to ban something from everyone in a certain group because of a few people in that group while being blind to the rest. Duh.

Hrm, I like the licence thing.. If you think about it he wasnt punnishing every group there. If we had a licence system to test kids abiliy to take small insults without an outburst of retarded babbling, Usualy somthing along the lines of "What?, Dude YOU ARE F**KING GHEY YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT"

Usualy translates as, "What? I dont know what that means, But, I think your insulting me. You are exeedingly happy/homosexual"

Funny when you think about it, tranlated it doesnt appear to make sence.

A Licenced user would probly respond like, "What? m sorry I dont understand, Please explain"

(1 Hour sleep and couning, w00t<- I got that from a unlicenced minor)

But it's against the law to spit in public and rude to blow your nose?

For the original post of this topic pfft licenses are for commies everyman for himself! I hate that phrase "real life" heard it all through to...well I'm still hearing it in college from teachers..treat people as you would want to be treated.
I think this thread goes along with some other post 420 had about lack of parental influence.

I didn't mention any license.  I mentioned an outright ban on minors' use of the internet.
